Search Laboratory's amazing Charity of the Year support 2014

Search Laboratory (Leeds) chose BTRS as their Charity of the Year 2014 and raised a fantastic £5,378.78 throughout the year.

Search Laboratory chose BTRS as their Charity of the Year 2014 due to a member of staff having a personal family connection to the charity.

The Search Labs team have been dedicated to their fundraising and also provided support in raising awareness of BTRS online using their global search engine marketing skills.

Search Labs have supported us by getting involved in many of our BTRS events. We thoroughly enjoyed spending Wear a Hat day with the team visiting local Leeds businesses to raise awareness in March. There was a team of 5 in the Big Bike Ride on a glorious day in May. To round off their amazing year of support they also had a table at the BTRS Strictly Sparkle dinner dance.

Their efforts didn't end there! They had team members in the Leeds half marathon and Abbey Dash and raised sponsorship through Just Giving. They also raised funds through their own events in the office - cake sales, a wear a Christmas jumper to work day, taking part in the Braindeer competition.

They also dedicated 1 day a month to supporting our campaigns and helped with online profile raising and interviews with supporters.

Ian Harris, Search Labs CEO said “BTRS was proposed by an employee who had a strong family connection to the work of BTRS because her father had suffered with a brain tumour. We try to support local charities that mean something to the staff and this story was so compelling and stood out above all other suggestions. It is a small charity and makes a big impact on the families of sufferers of brain tumours, as well as supporting brain tumour research so we felt our money would go a long way.”

Thank you to the whole team for all your support and efforts. Your grand total of £5,378.78 will support BTRS in funding top quality brain tumour research and provide support for those affected by a brain tumour in Yorkshire.
